CJK Unified Ideograph 2B2C5

3014/4154

𫋅 is a rare Japanese character tentatively glossed as “cicada”; a Japanese character dictionary gives its reading as せみ. It cites a guide to difficult characters in the Three Great Works of the Lotus, a set of Buddhist writings, where the reading セヒ appears. The dictionary treats the claim that it is a character made in Japan as uncertain.

Why does 𫋅 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
